Paper

Winsor & Newton Drawing Paper
A4, cold press, medium surface
Faiza's note
My everyday sketching paper: smooth enough for fine pencil lines, and it still takes a light wash.

Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Paper Pad
9 × 12 in, cold pressed, medium grain
Faiza's note
When I paint layered florals, this is the paper I trust. It never buckles under heavy washes.

Arches Watercolor Paper Block, Cold Press
12 × 16 in, 140 lb
Faiza's note
My favourite for finished pieces. It's glued on all sides, so the paper stays perfectly flat while I paint.
Brushes

Genixart Artist Paint Brush Set
9 natural bristle brushes for acrylics
Faiza's note
I reach for these when I want bold texture. The stiff bristles hold thick acrylic beautifully.

Winsor & Newton Watercolour Brush Set
Series 7 Kolinsky sable, 5 pointed rounds
Faiza's note
My most treasured brushes. They hold so much paint and still keep a needle-fine point.

10-Piece Micro Paint Brush Set
Fine detail brushes with triangular grips
Faiza's note
My secret for the tiniest details: petals, eyes and fine lines. The grip keeps my hand steady.

Winsor & Newton Foundation Acrylic Brush Set
Set of 6 acrylic brushes
Faiza's note
The brushes I recommend to beginners. They're affordable, so you can experiment without worrying.
Paints

HIMI Gouache Paint Set
56 colours, 30 g each
Faiza's note
I love how rich and creamy these colours are. It's a huge range for the price, perfect for bold, flat areas.

HIMI Twin Cup Jelly Gouache Paint Set
36 colours in jelly cups, with 3 brushes
Faiza's note
The set I suggest if you're new to gouache: just open the cups and start painting.

Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Paint Set
Travel tin with 24 half pans
Faiza's note
My favourite travel set! Bright, transparent colours in a tin small enough to come everywhere with me.
Pens & Markers

Sakura Pigma Brush Pens
8 colours, water-based pigment ink
Faiza's note
I use these for expressive outlines. The ink stays put once it's dry, even under watercolour.

POSCA® Paint Markers PC-5M
Water-based acrylic markers, medium tip
Faiza's note
My go-to for final highlights: bright, opaque colour that shows up over any paint.
